  • To view Wi-Fi password on Android, open Settings > Wi-Fi & internet and tap the connection.
  • Tap on Share and see your Wi-Fi password.
  • To find saved Wi-Fi passwords, open Saved networks on “Wi-Fi & internet,” and select the connection.
  • Tap on Share and see the wireless password.

On Android, you can find the Wi-Fi password of the network you are connected to or the wireless network you accessed in the past in a different location, which can come in handy when trying to help someone join the same hotspot, or you have to connect a Windows 11 or Windows 10 computer or another device to a wireless network.

Whatever the reason, you can use the Android settings to quickly see the passwords of all the access points your phone has previously connected. This is only possible with Android 10, 11, 12, 13, and higher. If you have an earlier version, this option won’t be available.

In this guide, you will learn the simple steps to quickly find the Wi-Fi password on your Android phone, whether it’s a Pixel 6 Pro, 6, 5, 4, Samsung, OnePlus, etc.
